The purpose of the script outline is predominantly to organise our thoughts before going into the recording.

It consists of 4 main parts:

1. Pitch: a one short summary describing the idea behind why people should listen to the show
2. Episode intro: a short scripted section that the Hosts read. It should "sell" people on why they should listen
3. Topics to cover: a bullet point outline of topics/ ideas to discuss during the recording
4. Appendix: any "messy notes" that relate to the research of the episode

The script outline should be prepared by the Researcher (in collaboration with the Project manager and/ or Producer) to be the document that everyone in the recording studio refers to.

Episode intro

The one scripted part of the episode is the intro (and the "generic" outro).

In the script outline should be the "first attempt" at what Sam and Josefine should say to introduce the episode:

• Aim for around 30 seconds length
• "Sell"/ "tease" the listener so that they get hooked on wanting to commit to the full episode
• Sam and Josefine should both probably say 2-3 sentences each
